Nguyễn Văn Long has been chosen as the ambassador for the online running event Dare To Run 2024, aiming to develop a “Darrior” community, promote a healthy lifestyle, and create benefits for society.
Push Your Limits, Become a True “Darrior”
First organized in 2023, Dare To Run attracted over 2,200 participants, completing the goal of 100,000 km. This campaign raised 200 million VND to fund the construction of a bridge in Sông Mã District, Sơn La Province.
Continuing this meaningful initiative, Dare To Run 2024 has been launched from July 15 and will end on August 30, aiming to reach a total of 150,000 km. Participants can flexibly choose from registration distances of 90KM, 225KM, 450KM, and 675KM. Running achievements will be accumulated from the start to the end of the race. Each kilometer run will contribute 1,000 VND to a social fund in cooperation with the Hope Foundation to build a bridge for residents in Tân Lập Hamlet, Tân Quy Tây Commune, Sa Đéc City, Đồng Tháp Province.
Especially with the theme “Be A Darrior,” each individual registering for Dare To Run 2024 will become a part of the Darrior community. This name is a combination of “Daring” and “Warrior,” representing strong warriors who are unafraid to push beyond their limits. According to the organizers, the program aims to continue developing the Darrior community after each season, thereby promoting daily physical training, contributing to better health, building a healthy cultural lifestyle, and creating social benefits.
